It depends on what type of caterpillar you are talking about. For instance, the woolly bear (or worm) stays in its cocoon from an average of ten to fifteen days. There are oth â¦ er ranges, of course, but that is because woolly bear caterpillars are so common throughout the world.
Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance.
Temperature is the average kinetic energy of particles of a  substance. Thermal Energy or heat is the total amount of kinetic  energy.    A bucket of water at 50C con â¦ tains more heat compared to a cup of  water at 100C, as one notices water in cup has more temperature.eat is defined as the total kinetic energy of all the atoms and molecules that make up a substance.    Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the in â¦ dividual atoms or molecules in a substance.
